The GNU Binutils are a collection of binary tools. The main ones are:
* ld - the GNU linker.
* as - the GNU assembler.
Most of these programs use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor library, to do
low-level manipulation. Many of them also use the opcodes library to assemble
and disassemble machine instructions.
This port may be used as a replacement for the system binutils and support
features from the latest versions of GCC.
For cross-compilation, see the devel/cross-binutils port.

Build aarch64-binutils as static by default.
This is required to build Arm64 packages using QEMU. Poudriere copies
the native ld from the host into the jail and uses that during the build.
This only works if ld is static.

Update to 2.27
Remove aarch64 patches which are now upstream
Disable new x86 relocation to avoid incompatibilities with the old base binutils
Activate all targets on the default binutils (requested by royger@)
Add a RELRO option (default off) to be able to define the default behaviour of
ld(1) on passing or not -z relro

Revert update to binutils 2.25.1 and bump portepoch to reflect that revert
binutils has build issues on 10.x i386 and is full of regressions on 9.x:
unexpected build failures on nss and others
